Editors: Kasaki, M., Ishiguro, H., Asada, M., Osaka, M., Fujikado, T. (Eds.)

Addresses interdisciplinary research linking cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics
Helps readers understand the need for collaboration with other disciplines
Describes how human cognitive functions can be replicated in artificial systems such as robots, and investigates how artificial systems could acquire intelligent behaviors through interaction with others and their environment

Cognitive Neuroscience Robotics is the first introductory book on this new interdisciplinary area. This book consists of two volumes, the first of which, Synthetic Approaches to Human Understanding, advances human understanding from a robotics or engineering point of view. The second, Analytic Approaches to Human Understanding, addresses related subjects in cognitive science and neuroscience. These two volumes are intended to complement each other in order to more comprehensively investigate human cognitive functions, to develop human-friendly information and robot technology (IRT) systems, and to understand what kind of beings we humans are.

Volume A describes how human cognitive functions can be replicated in artificial systems such as robots, and investigates how artificial systems could acquire intelligent behaviors through interaction with others and their environment.

Ben Zion Sandler - Robotics, Second Edition: Designing the Mechanisms for Automated Machinery

Ben Zion Sandler – Robotics, Second Edition: Designing the Mechanisms for Automated Machinery
1999 | ISBN: 0126185204 | English | 445 pages | PDF | 9.1 MB

Robotics, Second Edition is an essential addition to the toolbox of any engineer or hobbyist involved in the design of any type of robot or automated mechanical system. It is the only book available that takes the reader through a step-by step design process in this rapidly advancing specialty area of machine design.

This book provides the professional engineer and student with important and detailed methods and examples of how to design the mechanical parts of robots and automated systems. Most robotics and automation books today emphasis the electrical and control aspects of design without any practical coverage of how to design and build the components, the machine or the system. The author draws on his years of industrial design experience to show the reader the design process by focusing on the real, physical parts of robots and automated systems.

* Answers the questions: How are machines built? How do they work? How does one best approach the design process for a specific machine?

* Thoroughly updated with new coverage of modern concepts and techniques, such as rapid modeling, automated assembly, parallel-driven robots and mechatronic systems

* Calculations for design completed with Mathematica which will help the reader through its ease of use, time-saving methods, solutions to nonlinear equations, and graphical display of design processes

* Use of real-world examples and problems that every reader can understand without difficulty

* Large number of high-quality illustrations

* Self-study and homework problems are integrated into the text along with their solutions so that the engineering professional and the student will each find the text very useful
